We recently went to Lisbon and a 10 cruise to the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Spain. We had some amazing wines. These are the wines we had in Portugal.

A Frank Family white with a Caymus Grenache and a 100% pinot from Willamette, Oregon.Hope everyone had a nice day with family and friends 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍷🍷🍷

I wasn’t able to post all the wines. Here are some more. I posted a bottle of beer from because the label was amazing. I was also ready to join Marie on for the book tour on line from the ship till I realized it was rescheduled. I was sad. Can’t wait to join on 11/30.

Because he got Marie’s book! Look forward to the read! 🍷 @Marie Cheslik

Caymus-Suisun Redgale Vineyard 2022 Grenache from Solano County, California. This wine is modeled after France’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape style which we enjoyed last night, the Domaine Lou.The vines, I read are head-trained and grown in deep red soil embedded with large stones, with strong winds and abundant sunlight driving the vineyard’s unique terroir.The wine maker talks in details about how this small vineyard that has the SF Bay in the distance gets 20 mile an hour wind and that these vines started in 2018 are really starting to make great wine. Nose: Strawberry, pomegranate.Very smooth and bold fruit compote of red fruit… Very nice after a few hours of pickleball 🤣
